After 3 minutes, Ignacio Kusko mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ranqueles and the AEPGRAF players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 3rd match minute, Ranqueles was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ignacio Kusko to maneuver through the defense. Aquiles Estebano could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 6th minute of the match, but Laureano Lucado made a huge save.

Leonardo Javiero sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The referee showed Victorino Ayala the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 16 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for AEPGRAF!

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Fulgencio Sasoin to make the kick off.

After some careless play in the Ranqueles defense, Leon Benat kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Laureano Lucado. The Ranqueles fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Laureano Lucado should have stopped the shot. 79 minutes into the match, Leon Benat had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Laureano Lucado. Ranqueles's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Leon Benat was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 7-1. Leon Benat hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. Aquiles Estebano scored 8-1 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Laureano Lucado, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
